They write 360K floppies fine. It's just that because of the finer heads on the newer 1.2M drives, they write thinner tracks that 360K drives do not like. Reading them back from the combo drive (or another 1.2M drive works fine). But I have a 360K drive connected to a Catweasel card for writing REAL 360K disks!:)
Maybe it's because it's a business phone, which are not allowed on the list. It is only for residential phones. Since I put mine on the list, I went from about 10 a day to about one a week.
Well I don't have the X-Fi, but I do have the Platinum. I think I used that drive bay thing once since I bought it (a year or two ago). Though the 7.1 speakers where great for playing Doom3 or Half-Life 2 (Ravenholm) in the dark!
It reads like it was written by a 3rd grader. I couldn't even get through it. It has too many rambling sentence fragments. The author really needs to pay attention in English class.
It's not a pipe dream, but you will have it tough. It depends on how bad you really what it. I was dirt poor (not like the people who just say that--I mean hocking stuff to eat). I worked 10 years in a restaurant to get a four year degree (3 yrs. at a junior college, and 3 at a state college an hour drive from home). It sucked big-time, and my friends (who still work restaurant jobs) thought I was nuts. But it was all worth it; I'm not poor anymore:)
Reagrdless of the units, you have the same about of "stuff." Do you suddenly get bigger because being weighed in ounces instead of pounds yields a larger number?
Yes, but his question was about when Netwon fails to explain the universe. I picked an example. Yes, you can derive E=MC^2 (actually it is E= llamda MC^2 or E = M-sub0 C^2. E=MC^2 is actually a mis-trascription by a reporter. The M should be relativistic mass, not just mass). It can be derived using the classic train car model, and basic trig. and algebra.
Well, one example of where Netwon fails is explaining the rotation of the planet Mercury around the Sun. Since the gravity is so strong that close, Netwon fails, and we must use General Relativity. I believe the planet's orbit (someone correct me) actually spirals.
That's the problem I am having. I got to replace some crappy tv cable. I have no basement (the lower level of the house is where a basement would be), and no attic (vaulted ceilings). I think the cables were stapled down, so I cannot snake them. There is a space between the upper floor and the lower ceiling, but it seems inexcessable and the lower level floor is concrete. For right now, I have a cat5 cable going straight through the walls of two rooms to get internet to my daughters room. It ugly, but I don't know what else to do.
What would you guys suggest in my case. My house has NO attic (vaulted ceilings) and NO basement (split level). Without ripping up the floors and walls, how the hell do I run cables with it being ugly?
That's my point: Jesus was greater than Jefferson TO YOU. Too me, he was a jobless dirtbag which delusions of grandeur. I don't say that to hurt you, or insite you. It just what I BELIEVE. And since when you do need to fill childern's heads with your religion to teach them to share, have respect, and love? You people love to mix up your beliefs with concepts like "family," et. al., like any way but yours means you are against such things. You talk like your one of the "good" Christians who are getting the bad name. But you are just the kind I am talking about. You got the Bible shoved so far up your ass you cannot even see straight. You think your way is the only way, so it justifies shoving your crap down everyones throat. If someone was going around your neighborhood preaching Satanism or Wicca, you wouldn't politely ignore him. You'd find some excuse to have him arrested (disregarding that he has the same rights as you). People who don't believe as you do, do not need saved. What they need is for you to LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE!
You and the other replier completely missed my point. I do not care what you believe or how you practice said beliefs. My point is why do religous people (in general) have to try and force those beliefs on me and mine? Why do you have to knock on my door, or stop me on there street to give my a pamphlet? Or try and judge by your beliefs what tv shows, music, games, et. al. that me and mine should be allowed? Or give me dirty looks or shake your head when you find out I don't follow your beliefs and I don't send my kids to church?
My biggest beef is that religious people (again in general) feel they have the right (and they do!) to teach their beliefs to their children, but I should not be allowed the same. Thomas Jefferson said that religion should be a choice made by a mature, adult mind, not force upon impressionable childern.
I have many religous friends, and have nothing but respect for them, and they are courteous to know I don't care to be preached to. My daughter likes to go to church with a friend. I have no problem with that. All I expect from her is to think about what she is told, and decide for herself what to believe, to take nothing anyone tells her--even me--at face value. My father is very religous. His mantra was "I'm your father. You'll belief what I believe." That's crap, and I won't do it to my children.
So, you can believe what you want, have your own music, tv shows, vote at you like, go to church, put your fish on your cars. Just leave me alone! And I think God will forgive you for not be able to pray in a public school (is such a thing really necessary?). Just saying the pledge every day made me want to vomit.

Only on slashdot would such an ignorant post be considered "insightful."

No, business numbers are not allowed. Go to registration site and read the information.

I like to impress people with my uber cool 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 combo floppy drive! Though I could never find one that would handle the 2.88 floppies!

There was also a Captain America movie that sucked bigtime. I haven't seem the newer Punisher movie, but the old one also sucked.

"look how bright the sun is."
"Have an apple."
So, what is your point? Kleenex and Xerox may be commonly used, but so are Kool-Aid and Bandaid. ALL are still trademarked by there respective owners.

Duct tape was originally called duck tape. Duck, being the material it was made out of.

I like that!

Oops. I didn't think this one made it through. I kept getting "network error" messages. Oh well!
It's spelled "Ada" damn it! :)

And even when they were run by the government, they were never a "branch."
Thanks for making me snot myself at work! I wonder if Conan is as good in the original Klingon?
